Purpose of Budget Review

The purpose of our budget review was to provide an independent evaluation of the District’s proposed budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year.

Background

The East Moriches Union Free School District is located in Suffolk County. Pursuant to Chapter 354 of the Laws of 2006, the State Legislature authorized the District to issue debt not to exceed $2 million to liquidate the accumulated deficit in the District's general fund as of June 30, 2006. New York State Local Finance Law Section 10.10 requires municipalities and school districts that have been authorized to issue obligations to fund operating deficits to submit to the State Comptroller each year, starting with the fiscal year during which the local government is authorized to issue obligations and for each subsequent fiscal year during which the deficit obligations are outstanding, their proposed budget for the next succeeding fiscal year.
